Following two now impossible-to-get cassette album releases and a series of CD-Rs, Chtenie ("reading" in English) is Russian artist Alexander Shevchenko's debut on CD proper. Comprising improvised organ and guitar pieces with field recordings and a warm, natural and earthy feel that falls somewhere between a soundtrack to a lost '60s mystery film and the notion of the lone busker playing mildly jaunty and (broken) jazz-tinged melodies. Packaged in a fold-over card cover and limited to 300 copies. A taste of Sashash Ulz's music.
